A Meal Fit For a King...and a President, a First...
This week I had the unique privilege of attending a holiday party at the most incredible home of all - The White House.

Now before I dive into the...

Morimoto's Masterpiece
Mastermind Morimoto created this Sashimi “Birthday Cake” to celebrate the one year anniversary of ABC’s “The Chew”. I am speechless…a rare occurrence only a Japanese Iron Chef could make happen.

Amazing Product Alert
For salad lovers or those who wish they could be salad lovers, I have just changed your life.

This is my curry turkey burger (extra lean ground turkey with cilantro, bell peppers, and onions) wrapped in bibb lettuce with 5-grain tempeh, tomato, and avocado. Obviously.

Queen of Quinoa
I created my original recipe “Arugula QuinWa-ssup Salad” specifically for the unofficial launch of summer. It’s very light and refreshing and is the perfect complement to your BBQ mains.
Tricolored organic quinoa, arugula, sweet yellow tomatoes, cherries, blueberries, walnuts, and a fresh lemon juice/fig-infused white balsamic vinegar to dress. Word.
